Abstract

Anaphes chrysomelae (Bakkendorf) (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) was obtained from field-collected eggs of Chrysolina herbacea (Duftschmidt) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on Mentha spp. (Lamiaceae) in Adana, Hatay, and Uşak provinces in Turkey. Until now, A. chrysomelae has been found only in Italy. With this study, Turkey is the second country in the world where A. chrysomelae is known to occur. This is the second Anaphes species known from Turkey, and one of more than 20 species of Mymaridae reported so far from Turkey.
